Mitsubishi announces new SXGA+ projector

Press release, October 3; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES Asia

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America has introduced the HL650U, a new SXGA+ (1400×1050) resolution high-brightness LCD projector, designed for applications requiring high, accurate details and vivid colors such as CAD/CAM, geographical and tactical mapping, medical imaging and virtual simulation. The HL650U outputs 3100 ANSI lumens for a bright, clear image even in high-ambient light settings such as large classrooms or meeting rooms with windows, according to the company.

Easy set-up features include digital vertical and horizontal keystone correction and an option that allows users to match selected background wall colors including beige, blue, green, pink and blackboard. Once the color is chosen the projector then automatically adjusts its color gamma to create the best image possible on that surface, making set-up in classrooms and conference rooms a breeze, highlighted the company.

A side-loading lamp also makes replacement quick, simple and efficient. Users can just extract the old lamp from the side and replace it – saving time and money. Network management is also simple and easy with the HL650U's embedded ProjectorView and RJ45 connectivity for LAN asset management control of up to 200 projectors. Its RS232c connection makes it simple to integrate with third-party control systems and an anti-theft security anchor is included to deter unapproved removal.

The HL650U is offered at a suggested retail price of US$4,995 and is available from Mitsubishi's professional dealer network.
